PER CURIAM: Michael Bethel appeals his conviction for distribution of crack cocaine, for which he received a sentence of twenty-five years imprisonment. He argues the trial judge erred in allowing the State to admit a police officers statement regarding previous investigations implicating him in criminal activity. After a thorough review of the record, counsels brief, and Bethels pro se brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsels motion to be relieved.[1]
APPEAL DISMISSED
ANDERSON, HUFF, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
